Hi Everyone, Sorry it has been a couple of weeks since we have posted but we have been extremely busy!! As you know we have had to relocate to Rm 3 and we are not really sure how long we will be there. It could be until the end of the term. Thank you so much to those parents who hung around on Monday morning and helped us shift. It made things much easier.

We have been using a website called Class Dojo which helps us to track the kids behavior and learning. While this is something we are using in class, we did give the kids their 'secret code' which enables them to go online and check their progress. This is not something they have to do but as many of them did want to check it out we gave the code to all of them.

This week is Book Week and we have been to the library for a quiz as well as taken part in a variety of  book activities. The kids have really enjoyed this. Due to this we haven't run our normal literacy activities but will be back to it next week. We also visited the Tea Tree Gully library which the kids enjoyed and we appreciated all the parent helpers we had. It turned out to be a wet day so lucky we didn't walk!

Just an advance notice that I will be on long service leave in week ten of this term. Aleysha Turner will be in to work with Lisa.

Well look forward to hearing from you all...... Been a bit quiet ....... :)

Week 4

Hi Everyone,

Sorry we havent added anything for a couple of weeks, we have been so busy!
The kids are really enjoying our work on the Olympics and we are all learning alot. The kids have made torches and olive wreaths as well as sharing some great information.
Over the last couple of weeks we have had a lot of sickness, for example yesterday we had 12 kids away!
Lisa has lost her voice so wont be in for the rest of the week and we are hoping to have Mr V come in to work with us.
I will be out of the classroom on Wednesday due to a prearranged appointment and on Friday all junior primary teachers will be out at a conference. We apologise for the messy week, we are looking forward to getting back to a normal week too.

Well Done to Mia and Kayne for receiving this weeks Principal's Award!

Hi Everyone, we would like to welcome you all back to Term 3! We are looking forward to catching up with everyone and working hard this term.
Today was the start of our work on the Olympics and we had some excellent public speaking. Holly bought along some props to show the class how high the hurdles are in the Olympics, which was really interesting.
We looked at the history of the Olympic Games... so be prepared for some discussion from your children!
In math we started our work on measurement, in particular length, and we will be involving the children in lots of hands on activities.

Well, speak to you all soon.......

Reminder

Hi Again!
Just a reminder that it is really important that the kids continue to work on Reading Eggs and Mathletics during the holidays. This will help them stay on track for next term, as well as give them a bit of routine during the holidays!
Have a lovely break everyone!

Well Done to these students who received an assembly award this week. Great job Marinder, Troy, Kee and Laila!

Today was Casual Clothes Day! The kids were very excited (as you can see from the photo) !!

Week 9

Well..... Here we are in week 9 already! Time has gone so quickly.
We would like to say a big thank you to all our parents who have been helping us during our literacy block. We really appreciate it! Bec Miller, Sue Gosden, Julie Hodge, Annie Storoschuk, Tammy O'Rourke, Leanne Kean, Rebecca Wythe, and Jo Downs, you are awesome!
As you will all know this Friday is casual clothes day. the kids need to bring a gold coin donation and need to wear appropriate footwear for outside.
Next Friday is our celebration day and we are looking forward to reflecting on the term and enjoying some social skills games with the kids. The kids think it is hilarious that we are coming in our pajamas too!! Thanks to those who have paid their $3.
I will post our Term 3 overview as well as our new Sharing Roster over the next couple of days.
